Living For Tomorrow

CHAPTER 16

Jahrae

The bell rings signaling the end of class and before I can gather my belongings to leave  Marie and her friends the "TITS" Tiffany, Iyla, Taylor and Serenity all swarm infornt of my desk making sure that Marie is front and center.

"Baby can you eat with me this lunch, you sat with Brian and Alexis both Monday and Tuesday." she fusses pouting her lips.

Getting up I take my book off of the desk into one had and sling my bag over my shoulder using the other, "Marie maybe I've been sitting with them because they're my friends and I don't need to spend every minute of my time trailing behind you like some dazed puppy." I respond a tad bit still annoyed with how she's beeen acting lately.

Ever since the "accident" our relationship has been really unstable and it also doesn't help that we both belong on two complete opposite hierarchies of the school.

Marie had always easily fit into the stereotype of the popular girl with long deeply brown hair that makes you question whether you wanna be her or be with  her.

Luckily for me I chose the latter. I was never the kid that was always to himself, but I was also never the kid that was with everyone else, because for as long as I've known Lex and Brian we've been inseparable and usually kept to ourselves.

However all of that changed when the soft and sincere version of Marie Sanders caught my eye,amongst many others things.

"Baby I get that but it wouldn't hurt for you to spend time with us." Marie responds gesturing to her servants behind her.

I know that what I'm about to suggest is indeed a bad idea but I do it anyway "How about you just invite your friends over to our table, I'm sure Alexis and Brian wouldn't mind."

Tiffany the most annoying of them all clearly wants no part of this as she mumbles under her breath and crosses her arms, disgust evident on her face.
"I'm sorry to break it you, but if you haven't realized by now, girls like us are never seen with people like them, I don't even know why you hang out with them J, with all the money and recognition that you have, you stick out like a sore thumb." She spits out at me

Serenity joins the conversation with her cheeks spotting a bright pink color, "I don't mind, Brian seems nice." she inputs dazing off for a moment before she says, "Alexis too."

"Well unnless Tiffany is persistent on being a stuck up and relentless waste of  my time, I see no issue with you guise hanging out with us." I say making sure to stare Tiffany down. I look over to Marie and she still seems reluctant so I shove her minions out of my way and tenderly wrap my arms around her waist looking down at her. "Do you want to spend time with me or not?" I coax taking a hold of her chin and  forcing her to look up at me.

She instantly falls for my theatrics and exitledy jumps up wrapping her sly hands around my neck to give me a kiss that lasted longer than I'd like. "Deal, but you sit next me" she instructs  with a knowing smile.

"Can we go  now, we're like 10 minutes late to next period," Iyla speaks up shifting the many books in her hands and adjusting her glasses.

Everyone except Tiffany bids their goodbyes before leaving to their next class.

I look down at my watch and curse myself for how long I allowed them keep me back, I'm for sure going to hear a mouthful from Lex when she sees me walking in our shared class late.

I make my way through the halls towards my next period and awkwardly enter the classroom quickly apologising to my teacher for being late. I sit in my saved seat next to Alexis and she immediately looks over at me and mouths "Where were you?" , I simply reply "Marie" , which inturn causes her to  roll her eyes in annoyance.

I look over to my left at Brian who is fast asleep on his desk. Snickering to myself I put my hand in the air signaling to our teacher. She turns around and raises her eyebrows in question
"Yes Jahrae, what's the matter".

"The student next to me is snoring very obnoxiously and he's distracting me from my work." I fake complain trying my best not to laugh.

I hear Alexis snicker next to me along with  mumbles of what sounds like her saying "You're such an ass".

Miss Jacob, approaches Brian's desk and smacks him behind his head,Brian jumps up eyes wide but red with sleep and frantically looks around for who had the audacity to abruptly wake him up, his eyes soon land on Miss Jacob and before he can make any snark comment she speaks, "Sleep then come, don't come and sleep." She proposes before  walking back to the front of the class and resuming her teaching.

Not being  able to help my amusement I look back over to Brian and he's airily staring at Miss' back with an interested look on his face.

He definitely wants to tap that ass, I think to myself before shaking my head and resuming to focus on the lesson at hand.

It's like 3 minutes into lunch and I'm sitting on needles as I dread the appearance of my wonderful girlfriend and her pleasant friends. Alexis and Brian are argueing about something stupid as per usual oblivious to the fact that I'm about to bombard them.

I definitely lied when I said that they'd be ok with eating with Marie and the TITS, I'd never accept it but they hate every single one of them especially the person they believe is "a waste of my love and affection".

Brian stops bantering with lex and looks at me "What do you think J" when he realizes that  I wasn't fully paying attention he questions me again " Were you really not listening to that beautiful debate?,  what's on your mind this time Adams."

"I think I know." Alexis scowls as she looks straight  behind my head, I don't  have to turn around because I instantly smell the excessive amounts of expensive perfume and I know that the calvary has arrived.

Marie leans over me and claws her hands around my shoulders down to my chest and back up  bringing my face up to kiss her as she spitefully looks Alexis in the eye.  I try to pull away because I don't want to encourage her but she keeps me in place with her fingers at the base of  my neck.

"I missed you" she coos in between kisses before she eventually finishes her performance and sits down. The TITS stupidly follow behind her just like they copy her every move and also take a seat.

I hesitantly glance at my friends and both their faces are filled with unspoken emotions.

They're both going to kill me.
